I don't think it's fair to look at Canada as a monolith. Quebec is generating most of its energy from hydro, whereas Ontario relies on a well established nuclear energy infrastructure. Provinces that need to change are Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta.
Edit: Manitoba actually relies on hydro for 97% of their usage. So correction: only Alberta and Saskatchewan!

Mantioba's mostly fine, SK and AB are awful though
I don't think "our operations run on green energy" matters that much. Energy is energy, if you give other people green energy, you are still reducing emissions. You are just reducing other people's instead of your own, but global warming is a global issue.
TBF, I'm pretty sure that's how it works throughout the country. The title on my home in Ontario has easements for potential minerals/resources as well.
Manitoba doesn't belong on that list. Manitoba's electricity comes from 100% renewable sources (~97% hydro, ~3% wind, and 0% fossil fuels).
Yeah I forgot Manitoba was mostly relying on hydro!
And is exporting a percentage of that hydro to other jurisdictions as well.
Isn't Alberta just an oil interests runaway province that at this point is a damn near failed state? Every rule.coming out of that place is "how can we make it even better for our oil overlords"
